Oops. It's not really a custom component containing a custom
component. It's a custom component containing a Form component. The
general idea is still the same though.

I led a small team which built several webapps on Tapestry 3.0 before
TIA was released. The trick is not trying to apply everything in
Tapestry and focus on the basic webapp functions needed. You can
always grow into the rest of Tapestry as you go. Of course that isn't
much comfort to folks who are "top-down" learners.
I do agree that there still are some essentials to learn for basic
Tapestry apps, and now that TIA is out it is an almost necessary path
for Tapestry development.

Yeah, it's taken me a while to get somewhat decent with it, but I don't
think the learning curve is that high. Perhaps having a background in
GUI programming was a help, but Tapestry immediately felt more natural
to me than servlets & JSP. What I didn't like is the "barrier to
entry". By this I mean I basically went with Tapestry based upon some
reviews I had read. I really couldn't grasp how it worked until I paid
for TIA. Typically, I try a new technology a bit first and then buy a
book if necessary. Here, I had to buy the book before I could do much
of anything, so I was taking a lot on blind faith. With that being
said though, there have been a few great tutorials that have popped up
since then. Additionally, the email list is immeasurably helpful.

Yup.. now I get it.. actually tapestry apps are no more than small
components interwovened with each other to function as a complete apps...
I am still trying to unlearn my JSPs.. but I can feel it that the learning
curve is almost over. I am glad I took the time to learn tapestry (which has
pretty high learning curve I must admit).
